@alexandra how do you get news about what the w3c is up to? Is there someone/something I should follow?
Oh, I mentioned wanton macros as the enemies of readability. I forgot the other BIG one I had in Common Lisp: dynamic scope. Which you CAN do in Clojure, but I've only known two use cases. Dynamic scope is one of those ideas that was almost never good...

Summing up 20+ years of syntax debates: I want to write lisp but I don't want to read lisp

They left out the cond and condp tables. Lisp is the king of control statements :)

The 0.9.4 version (latest) of Bulma is missing their .list style, in both mini and full. I can't find any mention of this removal, so I am guessing it's a bug? #css
TIL that C# and the CLR in general actually can't do Tail Call Optimization. Does anyone know if this is the same reason that the JVM can't do it, so we have manual work-arounds is #clojure via (recur)? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/491376/why-doesnt-net-c-optimize-for-tail-call-recursion
@lucifargundam Keep your spirits up! You will get it.
Interesting little elevator pitch for a solution to many things. As a believer in, "leave state to the databases", this is great

After ~25 years of trying to get people interested in Datalog, it's been great to see an uptick in general interest. Credit for mainstreaming these ideas goes to Datomic, but that's led to many other cool uses, as can be seen in many of these talks.😊

Ask yourself before including new dependencies:
- can you really not do this in a few lines of code yourself?
- do they regularly scan for known vulnerabilities?
- do they accept outside PRs to bump deps?
- how many downstream deps does it have? what kind of shape are they in?

Just the thing I was looking for in a researched discussion of dynamic vs static typing . TL;DR there is a serious paucity of quality research on this, and there is no clear answer. Side note: static analysis tools are immensely useful to both statically and dynamically typed alike.

Watch this top spin
it flips over to spin on its narrow stem, during this inversion it changes the direction of the rotation
This inversion phenomenon, a feature of many spherical objects whose centre of mass doesn’t match their geometrical centre 1/🧵
@Crell I'm guessing it's not WordPress compatible, is it? Where you are already steeped in the constraints of their language?
@otfrom @greenCoder Yes, I tend to live by that motto. I think I have ever written a total of one, maybe two macros that live in actual projects. The main one is used for instrumenting fixtures an our testing framework, where database transactions need to be configured a priori (such run-time considerations are one of the big legitimate use-cases of macros)

@greenCoder I discovered `cond- > ` in the last few years, and it changed my coding life! So good!
@greenCoder absolutely. The built-in macros are built in and often thought of as justa part of the language. They are stable, standard, and even instrumented. But library-defined macros can be a head-ache, and macros made on a project level are inherently expensive because of the rules they are re-writing.
